INTERODUCTION

Interrogation is a process in which the interrogator must induce the person being
interrogated to provide statements against his or her own best interest. The goal of a
military interrogator is to educe intelligence from enemy combatants; the goal of a police
interrogator is to obtain confessions from suspected criminals. Because of these goals, the
interrogation process is inherently adversarial and to some, coercive.
In the United States, physical force has been disallowed from police interrogations for
more than seventy years. We will discuss the history and rationale behind the abolition of
torture and other harsh methods in police interrogations, and discuss modern-day
interrogation techniques involving psychological persuasion. We will also address the use
of torture in military interrogations. Finally, we will demonstrate how both physical and
psychological coercion can result in false confessions or inaccurate information, thereby
impeding the goals and ultimate efficacy of the interrogation process.
